Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
SpookEasy Lounge splits its beverage program across two levels: upstairs a kava-forward lounge with botanical teas, mocktails, and coffee; downstairs The Catacombs pours cocktails, wine, and beer. Cocktails like Blood Moon Blast and Poison Apple run $14-$15, while kava drinks start at $6. The menu's haunted-house naming gives the program personality, and the non-alcoholic selection is unusually deep for a bar.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Blood Moon Blast ($14), a tropical citrus cocktail with K-Tea. For something lighter, Berry Sangria or Blue Sangria ($14 each) offer fruit-forward options. Non-alcoholic drinkers should try the Grave Mule ($13) or We'll Float Too ($13), a kava ice cream float. Pair with a $10 Snoop Dogg Cali Red if you want wine.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Cocktail fans seeking creatively named drinks will find the $14-$15 range approachable. Kava enthusiasts and those avoiding alcohol will appreciate the extensive kava, botanical tea, and mocktail menu. The haunted-bar theme and two-level setup appeal to groups wanting a distinctive experience.
- When should I go?
- Evenings suit the haunted-bar atmosphere, especially when The Catacombs downstairs is open for spirits. Late-night visits work for kava or coffee if you prefer non-alcoholic options.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails run $14-$15; wines are $10 each. Kava drinks range $6-$14, mocktails $12-$13, and coffee $5-$8. Beer prices are not listed, so expect standard bar pricing.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The two-level split is the hook: upstairs is a kava lounge with botanical teas and mocktails, downstairs The Catacombs serves alcohol. The drink names lean into the spooky theme—Poison Apple, Grave Mule, We'll Float Too—and the non-alcoholic program is far more extensive than typical bar fare.

How it sits with the food
No food menu evidence was provided, so pairing guidance is limited. The fruit-forward cocktails like Berry Sangria might suit light snacks, while the kava drinks' earthy notes could stand alone.
